Prior to replacing slow PCs...

temp-post-imageYour team's productivity and efficiency is of vital importance to you. Slow computers make it hard for them to work, which may in turn have an adverse impact on their overall business performance.


There are various methods you can employ to enhance the performance of Windows 10 or 11.


Here are a few...



Restart Your Computer



An IT support professional's favorite tip, restarting your computer can do wonders for its performance. Rebooting will clear away background processes, programs and memory data which has built up over time and is an easy way to fix common performance problems caused by long term computer use.


Manage Startup Apps on Windows 11



Windows 11 permits many programs to register as automatic startup programs, potentially slowing down initialization time for your computer. Disabling unnecessary startups to speed things up.


Open Settings, navigate to Apps and the Startup Page for apps with high startup impact; remove those that you no longer require before rebooting your computer to stop their automatic launch at system start up and save resources.


Disable all restartable applications


Windows 11 includes a feature that automatically saves and restarts specific applications upon reboot, which may be convenient but may compromise performance. To turn it off:


Open Settings, navigate to Accounts, and sign in here. When signing in for the first time, disable "Automatically Save My Restartable Applications and Restart Them Immediately after I Sign Back In". This feature may help speed up your computer, particularly if there are many applications you do not use regularly.


Uninstall unneeded or unwanted apps


Programs you are no longer using may slow down your computer, so uninstall any unnecessary applications by:


Open Settings, navigate to Apps and the Installed Apps pages and then uninstall any desired applications by selecting their name from the Installed Apps list and clicking "Uninstall." Depending on your computer system and operating system, please follow any necessary instructions on-screen when uninstalling any of these unnecessary applications. Uninstalling unneeded applications may help improve performance by decreasing memory consumption.


Installing software onto your computer can be an important decision, with outdated or poorly designed apps having the potential to significantly decrease performance. When selecting apps from Microsoft Store apps that have been thoroughly evaluated for security and performance.


Before installing any software, do your research online in order to assess user experience and possible issues. Trust only well-established and reputable companies for your purchases.
